I think that 4% probability of a Dukes win is a little high.

It's all in Ferry's incapable hands.

Gonna keep saying it - email Mr. Harper and let him know we need a new coach and who we like that is out there.  It's the first part he needs to accept - not worried about  him finding someone...really.  My concern is he will keep him on another year.

ElDuque, You are correct.  Wouldn't it be just 1 year they would have to buy out?  Yes, we can't go one more year with Ferry.  We would then need to start a campaign to the President who from all appearances, understands how a strong sports program will increase Duquesne's opportunities in a number of areas stated last week.

FAM the President is sitting directly behind the bench. 😱😱😱. But I agree the announcers have been tough but yet the mantra of our youth and Ferry's coaching ability go on and on.

It's time to send the Long Island Ferry out to sea.

I am so upset I couldn't even spell the word announcer!!!  I worry what the heck those folks are thinking behind the bench.  Sure hope there are a lot of Dayton fans giving the team some good comments.

Worse loss 90-53.
St Louis away next up--no gimme--the losing streak could continue
One more loss guarantees another regular season losing record.
Hey, building a program; young team; young players intimidated by crowd;
players weren't patient; no rhythm established by guards; no one talked on
defense; announcers weren't supportive enough; President sat behind team
and jinxed them; needed cheerleaders; should have used old style road uniforms;
not enough fans traveled to game but not coaches fault, never coaches fault.

Probably will be the worst loss, to date, of the season.
They lost to KY at KY 93-59.
Ferry should go but Harper should analysis what ails the program.
Recruiting budget?  Facilities? Assistant salaries? Attitude of the administration
and board of directors?  Values? Academics? All of these?  
No point firing one coach, eating part of his contract only to hire another coach who
is doomed before he even starts.

Save yourself the aggravation my friend because it's as simple as this:  no sponsorships, no fannies and no one cares in Pgh.

Today you saw a very good D1 well coached team play a weak team with no coach.  The collective basketball IQ on the Dukes is less than most high school teams.  There is no, none, nada, zip visible signs of coaching on this team. This has been a trademark of all Ferry teams for the last 5 years. Can anyone really argue that point?. This team still has no clue how, or desire, to play defense, and has no structure to their offense.  The talent that Ferry has recruited is horrible.  Yes I have taken off the "Beer Goggles" and looked at this team for what it is. Except for a couple players they are not A10 quality players. Yes better coaching would help them grow and play defense but our guys are weak and lack the skills to play at this level.  Ferry has taken this team to the next level for sure, just in the wrong direction. This program is a dumpster fire, and a joke around the League.  I am done wasting time with this program.
